Defect: 2018.1.4 Disable Container

While performance tuning a solution of @LordNeilLord, I came across a bug in designer.  My use case was to create multiple ways to skin a cat and then to compare the timings of each run.  I put each approach into its own container.  To my surprise, I see messages in the results from containers that are disabled.

In the enabled container there are 0 filters and 0 summarize tools.  The disabled containers are still executing logic.

Hi Mark,

 

We are looking into this and attempting to replicate.

I have noticed the same behavior with the new disable feature.

Hi @RidJa001,

 

 

Thanks for reporting.  Mark and I just met via screenshare and Mark was able to figure out that the issue is replicated for him by right clicking on the disable button.  Are you seeing the same? Would you mind if I reach out to you via PM to connect to see if we can record the behavior on your machine?

If i have a container within a container the "disable container" doesn't actually disable the inner container. (it simply collapses it-and i need to still check the "disable" radio button to disable the inner container)

 

edit: The right click actually does disable the container though!

Hi @MarqueeCrew,  @RidJa001 and @Derangedvisions,

 

We are tracking this internally.  I'll post back as soon as we have updates.  We have had other users report the issue as well.
